The first post of the year always feels a little daunting. I’m itching for Copperline to include some new features – as in, features that aren’t about interiors – but I wanted to start the year with a gorgeous space, and when I spotted the photo above, well, you can understand why this interior felt like a great place to start.
You know when you happen across something that is so beautifully styled you just can’t resist sharing it? Well, this apartment in the Old Town in Stockholm provided one of those moments while I was scanning the always-inspiring listings from Fantastic Frank. Continue Reading…
